What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a preventive treatment designed to protect your teeth from decay. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars) where cavities are most likely to form. Sealants act as a barrier, keeping out food particles and bacteria that can lead to cavities.

Why Choose Sealants?

• Effective Protection: Sealants provide a protective shield over the enamel of your teeth, reducing the risk of decay by up to 80% in the treated areas.

• Quick and Painless: The application process is quick, painless, and does not require drilling. Sealants can be applied in a single visit to our home-based clinic or mobile clinic.

• Long-Lasting: Sealants can last several years with proper care, making them a cost-effective solution for long-term dental health.

The Application Process

1. Cleaning: Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and dried.

2. Application: A special gel is applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth to help the sealant bond.

3. Sealant Application: The sealant is carefully painted onto the tooth surfaces.

4. Curing: A special light is used to harden the sealant, ensuring it stays in place.

Ideal Candidates for Sealants

Sealants are often recommended for children and teenagers, but adults can benefit from them as well. They are particularly useful for individuals with deep grooves in their teeth or those who are prone to cavities.

Maintenance and Care

Maintaining your sealants is simple. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, will help ensure the longevity of your sealants and overall oral health.
